We fight, We win
Two years of pandemic isolation combined with the war in Ukraine made for a powerful Passover message Friday night in Carrboro at the largest Seder in the Triangle.

Freedom is the major theme of Passover, the celebration of the exodus of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. And as they arrived, unmasked and smiling at the Carrboro Hampton Inn on Friday evening, it also seemed like a celebration of this holy night which was free for now from many of the constraints of COVID-19.

"This is everything," said Amy Rosenthal. "To be isolated at home and celebrate Passover is just wrong."

Marc Gould added, "If you're not Jewish, you don't know what it's like to not be around your own people. It's family. It's togetherness. It's the family -- just everything."

With his welcoming smile, Rabbi Zalman Bluming greeted everyone at the door. The director of the Durham-Chapel Hill chapter of Chabad, the largest Jewish organization in the world, is just back from eastern Europe where he got an up-close look at the ravages of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

I'm sure all the children that God killed on Passover would have liked to have spent time with their families.
